“Yes, let’s hurry and order. Daon, are you hungry? Come here, sit next to Grandpa.”
“Yes!”
Daon, who answered confidently, sat on the chair Byunhyun pulled out for her.
Watching Daon roll spaghetti with a fork, she smiled at Eunjo.
Byunhyun poured the nicely sliced steak onto the child’s plate.
It looked like the way a grandfather treats a grandson who won’t be hurt even if he puts it directly in his eyes.
“I’m very thankful for your suggestion, but I’m really sorry.”
In the end, Eunjo cautiously declined his parents’ suggestion to study more.
“Well, it’s not like I’m telling you to leave immediately, take your time. Anyway, I thought we should talk about it comfortably, as we see fit. Sorry.”
“No, if you can go, it’s a great fortune for me too. Honestly, around the time of college graduation, I envied friends studying abroad so much. It was to the point of feeling physically sick with envy. But now, um… if I missed the timing, I… I’m just grateful enough for Mina alone.”
“Unni was better at studying.”
“When did I say that? Just quietly eat your meal.”
Eunjo glanced slightly at Mina.
“Um… I’ll say something.”
Byunhyun, who put down the fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, adjusted his glasses.
“I’ve thought about it a lot, well, I’ve tried. What if I had a daughter besides Sunwoo? Eunjo, at your age, working. You chose work over studying due to various reasons in the past, right? But now you’re starting to study again?”
“…?”
“Why not? You have a reliable father like me. What’s the problem even if you study again? I, with two daughters and a grandson, have the ability to feed them well, clothe them better, and even afford their education. It’s embarrassing. To say such things with my own mouth, haha.”
“Honey… why are you suddenly like this, impressive and all?”
“It’s not that I’m saying it’s impressive. Before considering age or other various situations, I hope Eunjo looks into her own heart first. Do what you want. If it were me, with a reliable and wealthy father like me, of course.”
“Honey…”
A smile spread across Namhee’s face as she firmly held her husband’s hand on the table.
Watching Daon, who was using a spoon to scoop up ice cream and bringing it to her mouth, Eunjo’s lips tightened.
“I’ve thought about it. What if Mina sorts out her family register properly before going to the U.S.? It might be better if the parents approve. It’s also better for the child’s future.”
“Unni, what are you suddenly talking about!”
“Let’s do it if your parents agree. It seems better for the child’s future.”
“Our Eunjo has a lot on her mind. What’s so urgent? But, by any chance… Are you unwell? Your complexion doesn’t look good, and it seems like you haven’t had a proper meal.”
“No, my appetite hasn’t been great since lunch. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t apologize. Then, let’s have some ice cream too! No, how about sherbet? The lemon sherbet here is really delicious.”
“That sounds delicious! Me too!”
Minah cheered, and Eunjo, thinking of the refreshing scent of lemon, nodded like a child.
“Honey, quickly. Let’s order our lemon sherbet.”
With both hands unknowingly clasped together, Namhee laughed heartily.
It was because thoughts of their wealthy friend in the United States came to mind.
‘Sure.’
He felt confident that there was ‘good news’ to deliver to Janice.
Now, in the darkened study.
Jaeha, buried deep in the chair, was staring blankly at the newly installed window.
On the desk was Eunjo’s bag. Her small bag, which he had heard about, was open.
Just that small bag was a truly pitiful sight.
From the bag, which seemed to have rolled along the edge and collected dust, two things came out, which he had already heard about.
A passport and an ultrasound photo.
But this… Jaeha slowly blinked his eyes, looking at the shiny object lying haphazardly on the desk.
Thrown into the Han River.
To surprise and shock Yoon Eunjo, to see her bewildered and flustered.
To watch such a scene, with an arrogant and reckless attitude, as if six billion won was nothing.
As much as it hurt me to have that, no, even more, I wanted to torment and fluster her.
Ha!
A disappointed laughter burst out.
Kukukuku…
Why didn’t I know back then?
Why didn’t I know that this supposedly great ring wasn’t the only one in the world?
Eunjo had never sent the ring away.
She had wrapped this small thing carefully in a pretty handkerchief and hidden it tightly… Hidden something even more precious inside me.
Crazy bastard. It would be better to just die.
When I burst into laughter again, I heard a knock, and Secretary Kang entered the study.
“…Are you okay?”
Seeing Jaeha’s low laughter in the dim study, Secretary Kang’s eyes widened.
“No, it’s the worst.”
“What on earth happened? How could, that…?”
“…It’s over.”
Jaeha’s eyes were completely empty.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
